Buying or selling a home in Coral Gables in 2019?

Real estate is a hyper-local phenomenon.

Having a clear understanding of the latest Coral Gables market trends equips you with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions that keep you from overpaying for a home or having your home sit on the market indefinitely.

Our easy-to-understand Coral Gables market reports break down the most important information at a city and zip code level, so you know exactly how YOUR market is doing.

Is it a Buyer's Market or a Seller's Market?

The Absorption Rate, the amount of time it would take to sell all of the current listings at the current selling rate if no more homes were listed for sale, is the key indicator for answering the question, "Is it a Buyer's Market or a Seller's Market?"

It's calculated by dividing the average number of homes sold over the last six months by the total number of homes listed for sale at the end of the month.

The graph below breaks down the absorption rates for all single-family homes in Coral Gables by price bands and demonstrates how the different price segments of the Coral Gables single-family homes market have performed over the last six months.

Typically, a Seller's Market has less than six months of supply, while more than six months indicates a Buyer's Market.

The market for single-family homes in Coral Gables is currently a Normal Buyer's Market with 8.7 months of inventory.

Generally-speaking, buyers have more negotiating leverage than sellers at this time. Expect a flat market or slight appreciation for homes under $1M and moderate to high depreciation for homes over $1M.

A buyer who is aware that it's a Buyer's Market not only has more homes to choose from, she may also be in a position to offer less for a home or request additional items in her offer, such as seller concessions or repairs completed by the seller.

A seller who is aware that it's a Buyer's Market may price her home slightly below the recent comparable sales to avoid having her home sit on the market indefinitely and ultimately sell for less than what she could have sold for.

Tips For Buyers

If you're in the market to buy a single-family home in Coral Gables (or any other area for that matter), it's important to know and understand the hyper-local market statistics for the type of home you're interested in.

An agent (or ateam of agents) who specializes in your area of interest can gather and help you break down the information you need to gain insight on a particular area.

Knowing what type of market you're in allows you to develop an effective negotiation strategy that leads to results.

Should you offer 10% less than the list price or 3% above asking price? Should you request that the seller pay for all of your closing costs, a portion, or none at all? Should you offer to close in 60 days or 30?
